Please bring back the option of being able to delete messages.
It baffles me that this option was taken away, but with the latest build of Spotify, which replaced the old inbox with the very unneeded message threads, there is no way to delete messages. I was told to submit this as an idea, but I'm shocked I even have to. Next thing, I'll be submitting an idea to allow me to shut Spotify down after I'm done using it.
EDIT: I'd also like to add, as some of you have, that it's somewhat disturbing to find very old messages that I "deleted" two years ago now appearing in my Messages box again. Which means Spotify held on to those private messages, even though I hit that Delete button. Not good.
EDIT #2: Hi, everyone. It's been A YEAR AND A HALF since I posted this, and as you can see, even after 19 pages of comments and almost 700 kudos, Spotify hasn't done anything about it besides call it a "good idea". Thanks, Spotify. Because of this issue, and because of Spotify's reluctance to listen to the community on an issue which I feel is way more important than the color of the background, I have barely touched Spotify in the past 6-7 months. There are other alternatives these days. While they may not be perfect, at least they seem to respect my privacy more than Spotify, which is extremely important to me. Keep the comments and kudos coming, friends. I appreciate all of you backing me on this. Hopefully, Spotify will fix this issue at some point in the next decade. Until then, I'll be enjoying other streaming services.
Seriously!?!? Who thought it would be a good idea for people to not be allowed to delete messages?
Which possible scenario would support the need for users to permanently keep messages to the point where you just disable the ability to delete them?
I am baffled and disappointed. This appears to be some sort of compulsory data hoarding by Spotify.
EDIT October 9th, 2014: after multiple updates to the Spotify client, they have still not reinstated the ability to delete messages.
Premium Subscription cancelled with immediate effect.
EDIT 2: To clarify my position here: I am an adult who ocassionally uses choice language when engaged in friendly messaging between friends. However my kids (5 and 8) and their friends also like to use Spotify to listen to stuff (mainly the Frozen soundtrack!) and I think this is something to be encouraged - music is a wonderful thing. The solution is fairly apparent: don't use bad language, and yes that is a solution going forward BUT I CAN'T DELETE THE EXISTING MESSAGES.

Please bring back the Modern Skype App for x86 devices
The desktop Application is unusable on small tablets, due to its fiddly controls, missing features and extremely high demand of system resources (RAM, CPU, etc.). It's sad to see Microsoft once again neglecting its creations (like you did with Zune). Especially, when theres no logical reason for it (RT users can still use the app, you're just blocking us out - it's the same codebase!). People, let them hear your voice. I know, many others share my point of view, but they won't change anything if they don't see any complaints!

Please bring back an option to Add Scroll Arrows!?
Mac OS X v10.7 Lion - has removed scrollbars and changed the direction of scrolling to better align with iphones, ipads, etc. Thankfully, there are options to go back to behavior similar to classic scrolling behavior, with one important exception. Unfortunately, scroll arrows are now completely gone. OUCH !
Through preferences one can make scrollbars be presented. Behavior can be based on the type of device being used, or scrollbars can be displayed all the time. I choose to display scrollbars all the time.
Through preferences one can make the scrolling direction go back to what one expects if one used Mac OS X versions prior to 10.7 Lion. When I'm scrolling content on my MacBook Pro, I'm either using devices that are not "embedded" in the display (the trackpad or the mouse). When others do scrolling say on an iPad, where the scrolling is directly on the screen, I get it that the direction is different. But don't change up and down so it will match a phone or tablet when I'm on a device where I'm doing indirect manipulation of window content.
To the core complaint... Scroll Arrows are Gone: I cannot get scroll arrows any more. Take a look at Mail or Safari. This is especially needed in Mail. I get lots of mail. I want to be able to scroll up and down by pages (yes there is another preference for this) using the scroll region. I can do that. But I also want to be able to scroll the window (say preview window, or mail message content window) by one line at a time. However, there is no option that I can find. Maybe I want to see the whole paragraph at the same time. Maybe I want to see a code fragment of 5-10 lines all at one time.
Some might say we should just use the up and down keys on the keyboard. I would like to do that. However, with Mail, Apple still has not provided the ability to move from message to message in the preview pane without MARKING THE MESSAGE AS READ ! Most email messages (like this one :-) are too long at least for quick browsing. When I use the up/down arrow to go from message 42 to message 49, then 42 thru 49 are marked as read, even though I can do this in a second or so with seven down-arrow presses. Certainly I can't read 7 real-life emails in a second. See below for a post two years ago requesting this feature which many Mail programs have, but which has never been added to Mac's Mail app:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1988930?start=15&tstart=0
Marking "Read" When Viewing in Preview Pane
...Similar discussions occurred on 10.4, 10.5, and 10.6. Here we are on 10.7, but this request has been ignored...
Please bring back some method for turning on scroll arrows again! And yes, give the option for controlling whether they're stacked at bottom of scroll region, or for using the more common model of up arrow at top of region and down arrow at bottom.
Sadly, this is also a core behavior of Mac OS X 10.7. I have Chrome installed. It does not allow scroll arrows either.
So, Apple... Accept that you went too far. Bring back options to turn on scroll arrows.
...and go back and review that mail preview behavior too, while you're at it.
Thanks,
Alan CarwileAlan,
while the two finger scrolling is a sometime substitute for scroll arrows it is completely inadequate as a full time solution. It is useless in programs like excel that can have multiple split screens and only scrolls in one at at time and there is no reliable way that doesn't affect other operations to tell the program what screen you want to scroll in. With scroll arrows I got arrows for each window when I split the screen. It is typical of apple's (and steve jobs) hubris that they would eliminate these. It's fine if you think it is more sleek efficient use of the screen not to have scroll bars, but why recognize the need for scroll bars and allow us to turn them on and not scroll arrows?.
Forgetting the split screen problem, on the large databases I have with 10s of thousands of records anything other than scroll arrows is unpredictable because the scrolling speed is dictated by the size of the database and the sideways scrolling with the track pad is clumsy.
The lack of compatability in Lion whether with programs or user interface speaks poorly of Apple and it is the first time in a long time I've thought I might be headed back to the dark side.
And I think they do this on purpose, to make people bend to their paradigm -- see Job's refusal for the longest time to let keyboards connect to the iphone.
And, I know I'm not speaking to apple here, I'm speaking to Apple users. Apple doesn't seem to care or think it can do any wrong and has had that attitude for a long time.

Adobe, please bring back the image thumbnail in PS CS6 (open file dialog)
This is ridiculous! This feature is actually essential! I don't have to open tons of images just to pic one I needed and close the others.
And no, I couldn't care less about Bridge, mini bridge or other nonsense just to see what I'm opening!
Thank you.Hi, thank you again for all of your suggestions of workarounds. I appretiate it, however, it's not really what I was asking for
Besides, telling me that Adobe has to comply to some arbitrary Microsoft BS is just ridiculous.
First off, why the hell is Microsoft to force you, Adobe, to implement a file open dialog the way you like? I call you on this! This is one hell of a bull s**t!
Here, a few examples just to stir the BS a bit more:
3ds Max (made by Autodesk, one of the largest software developers there is) also on Windows.
This is Nuke (made by The Foundry), a high-end compositing application that runs on a variety of OSes, incl. OS X and Windows!
Oh and by the way, this is Illustrator CS6. Made by Adobe, in case you were wondering:
So, please, tell me again how you were forced by Microsoft to remove the tiny little preview image in Photoshop CS6, I'd love to hear your story over and over again, it amuses me. -
Tabs gone wild! Choice of how tabs open is removed and function of having tabs open only at end of all tabs is gone. Instead, tabs now open next to similar or same site, so they can be jumping all over the place and instead of finding them in the order you opened them, you have to hunt around to see which site it is sitting by instead. I can easily remember the order in which I opened them, not so easy to remember the site each one may be associated with, especially if they were opened in the order of an article and therefore in the order I wanted to read them.

Bring back the little red X please?
With Adobe's continued regression into silent-movie-era palettes I'm having a harder and harder time distinguishing which one out of multiple open documents is the 'hot' one (the one I'm working on at the moment). Could you please bring back the red X box in the image window? It's not like I'm demanding that horrible blue bar from CS3 or anything. I mean. a little color to tip us off to what we're working on can't make all the monochrome purists run in terror can it?
Bump
Working on a crapload of images in multiple open windows today and this "feature" continues to make my work more difficult than it needs to be. And no, I don't do tabs.
If you're going to suck all the color hints out of the UI maybe you should get rid of that blue box in the upper left corner of every image window - it's just sooo annoying... -
Bring back the 500GB Standalone Plans
I am very disapointed that there is no longer a 500GB option and everyone is now forced onto either 50GB, 250GB or 1TB tiers. I would have much preffered a price discount and the 500GB plan offered at $95 dollars, instead of being stuck paying $113 for 500GB and hoping I get upgraded to 1TB. If I don't then I'm expected to pay an extra $2 dollars and swap to a different plan when others have been upgraded for free. I could understand if the 500GB plans weren't offered anywhere, but they are still offered in bundles, could you please bring back the 500GB plan or at least have it available in a tier?? I personally think 250GB, 500GB and 1TB tiers instead would be better value. If I was paying less than 100 dollars for 500GB I would be more incentivised to bundle, and the bundles as usual disadvantage existing customers by offering nothing at all. Thanks Telstra
Hi dazza826,
Thanks for offering this feedback to us.
At this stage we won't be offering a cheaper plan for the 500GB. We increased data to enable people to be able to enjoy our new Telstra Air service without concern of using up their data. More on that here

[Desktop][Playlists] Please bring back album title
Hi, I have the Mac client and just noticed that my playlist interface only shows three columns now: Song, Artist, Date Added Why is album title gone and can you PLEASE bring it back? I looked through the settings/menus and saw no way to do this myself. Frankly, I'd rather have the album title than date added, if it's a matter of space. Actually, if I could even hide date added that would be great as I really don't care when I added a track to one of my playlists. Thanks!

Honestly, I didn't know where to put this.
But I really dislike the new iPod nanos.
And I can't find any of the 5th gen.
So I say to Apple:
Please bring back the 5th gen nanos!Or you could buy the iPad, that has a way, way bigger screen.
Going to be really tough to put controls on that size screen and still be able to see what is happening. Could make game play really challenging.
Yes, Apple did make a big deal out of the video capability, but in the final analysis they could not keep pace with Flip and I doubt anybody actually bought a 5th Generation Nano because it had less than mediocre video capabilities. I use the video on mine about 3 times. Nice novelty.
Glad you think the 5th Generation was the epitome of the Nano, and you can buy from Amazon, or buy refurbished. At least while they are still available. I thought the most recent iteration of the Thunderbird was a nice car. Apparently not enough people agreed with me. I also thought the Adventures of Briscoe County was a great show. Fox? Not so much, nor did it have any ratings.
I like working out with my 6th Generation Nano, it is small, I can see the screen to change playlists rather than use VoiceOver, I can check the time, I can set timers. Hard to do all of these things with the Shuffle (although I actually run with my Shuffle instead). Honestly, the 6th Generation is far superior to the Shuffle when working out at the gym. I'm guessing you don't work out much. Honestly, it is much better and is just how things should be in my opinion.
Ever here of a thing called supply and demand? Ever collect anything? Ever buy artwork? Once an item is no longer available and there is a demand for it then it will sell at above list price. You can buy the refurbished ones for less than the new 5th Generation Nano and they are just as good, if not superior to, the new ones.
But in the end who knows. Apple went back to the 2nd Generation Shuffle design with the 4th Generation so maybe you will get your wish with the 7th Generation Nano. Wait until September. -
Feature Request - Bring back the show progress bar
Just in case Verizon is looking for suggestions here, can you please bring back the progress bar that was behind the start/end times in the guide? In the current guide, there is no quick graphical cue to represent how much time has progressed in the selected show. Yes, you can look at the start, end, and current times, but when browsing through shows that start/end at different times, it really slows browsing down.
I've uploaded two images to illustrate the issue.
The first image below is a screenshot of the v1.9 guide. The second image is a mock-up that shows the feature that I am talking about. Note the progress bar for the currently selected show in the guide that appears behind the start and end times ("7:35 AM - 9:30 AM" on the right side of the screen, in the middle).
This was available in the previous guide, but was omitted in 1.9. It is a very useful feature. Please bring it back.
(NOTE: The white progress bar at the top of the screen does NOT represent the progress through the show selected in the guide. It just shows the current time.)shadow715 wrote:

I'm sorry, but I just do not see the benefit of the elapsed time thing you propose. What difference does it make to see some kind of indicator how far into the program you are? You can't change where you are, you are there, period.
But if you really, really want to know:
1) Just look at the start time and end time shown in the current program in the middle, and look at the TOD shown at the top, and estimate where you are.
- or -
2) Hit the Info button once and see a bar that definitively shows how far in you are.
Could you please explain why you think having that feature is so useful? I just don't see it.
Thanks.

Bring back the Filter option in Search results
Well, not only Sorting is messed up (removed) from the latest realease of Spotify, filtering is as well. You can no longer filter (ctrl-F/cmd-F) your search results, and, as with many other great features killed without explanation, we want this one back as well. Thanks!
PS. You can manually bring back the old search - including sorting and filter options - if you write "spotify:search:[search term]" in the search field.Is there a business reason why this feature hasn't returned, despite a huge number of complaints? (Matt Suda - does he work for Spotify? - writes in this thread that it is coming back but its status is still "Watch this space" in the monthly ideas review). I can think of a few business model reasons that Spotify doesn't want its customers to have filter/search. For example: 1- I bet it's reduced the amount of use by customers like me, so the business gets the "Health Club" revenue stream - loads of subscribers who don't use the service much. 2- Perhaps its a way of increasing use of the Facebook aspect of Spotify and so creating more advertising revenue. If we are wasting our time and effort asking for the return of this feature then please, Spotify, just tell us and we will vote with our wallets after examining the competition.

Bring Back the Annual Subscription Option
When I started using Spotify I could choose between annual and monthly Subscription. At the time monthly suited my life best.
But now, when I really need to utilize the annual subscription payment model, it is nowhere to be found ( alot of the community posts show a difference between the countries, and some people need to cancel the subscription , and then re-subscribe to get it)
I say Bring Back the Annual Subscription Option!
It used to be easy to just change your current subscription to annual instead, ensuring that you could listen to spotify no matter your current money situation (say if you were going volunteering somewhere and didn't have a steady income, the annual subscription allows you to do both!)
I know there are eCards and all - but this mostly only covers Americans\people who have American credit\debit cards.
What about the rest of the world? Why make it so difficult to take my money?
Bring Back Annual Subscription Option!!I agree too. Paying every month for something, when I could just pay once for the year is more conveneint. Now that iTunes are going to be offering competiiton to Spotify, I will look to see if they offer annual subsrciption, if Spotify can't be bothered to list to us customers.Aeruynh wrote:
